Three women. Three secrets. A deadly silence. Kate is a psychologist juggling work, finances, children, and her ailing relationship to Ryan, a musician too engrossed with his band to help at home. She finds herself nostalgic about her first love. Tori, the owner of a successful second-hand clothing and furniture store, is determined to protect her son from the truth about his past, adamant that he will never meet his father. When glamorous Shelley, a professional footballer now married to Kate’s first love Daryl, arrives in town, uncomfortable truths start to emerge. Will Kate, Tori and Shelley confront the past that shaped them? What are the consequences of speaking out? Of keeping silent?
